I'd try a Motor factors type place, I'd of thought it wasn't the normal grease but don't know for sure. I've got some spare if you need it.
Also got a brand new joint if you need a pic to see what it should look like new if it helps.

Im putting Castrol LM lube grease in mine and plenty of it, some in the joints and some in the cups on the rear diff that the joint opens into.
Just enough without being too much mate

Hello Mate
I worked on Vauxhalls for 10 years and we always used graphite grease. Whenever you buy a driveshaft boot from the dealer they always came with a big tube of grease in the bag. I've got a load of spare tubes in the garageas you never needed a whole one!
Looking at the picture it looks like graphite grease in your shaft.
Cheers
